Chapter 50 Ophelia's Ambition [Please Read On]
After more than ten minutes, Ansettus tapped the table rhythmically with his right knuckles.
Ophelia knew that this was a habitual action her father often did when thinking.
The sun gradually rose, and the white sunlight fell on the table.
This was the most gentle moment of the day.
After a few more water hours, when the dark sun also rose, the light would become strange and changeable.
"Dear..."
"Are you sure that the so-called 'mysterious alchemist' is reliable?"
There was a gleam of doubt in Ansettus's shrewd eyes.
Ophelia's answer to this question was simple.
"Goods first, money later."
These four words were enough to dispel his doubts.
As long as the other party could produce the real goods, all problems would no longer be problems.
"What about our profits?"
He immediately asked the next question.
Ophelia was well prepared for this, and Chen Xuan had communicated with her in advance about the relevant information.
"Take 15 out of every 100."
"We need to package and sell the Demon Tears."
"This is a must-have item that can be used to fight monsters. There is no need to worry about saturation."
"Aluminum is a casting material, so craftsmen need to be dispatched to shape, grind and carve it into exquisite tableware and handicrafts."
"Considering the luxury positioning of aluminum tableware, it cannot be sold in large quantities in a short period of time in the same area."
"Otherwise it will affect its price, but you can choose to resell it to cross-regional merchants."
"Naroa is big enough..."
"There are only these two main products at present, and the rest can only be regarded as extras."
After hearing her words, Ancetus fell silent again.
In fact, he was also a little entangled.
Reason told him that this matter was a bit nonsense.
Demon Tears are in short supply everywhere. There are only a few mining areas in the Kingdom of Duroya that can produce the raw material of Demon Tears, dark red sand, which are controlled by the Royal Alchemy Association.
But because Demon Tears are truly life-saving items, second-hand dealers emerge in endlessly.
Many traveling merchants bought magic tears from the Alchemy Association branch in the giant city, and then sold them to the towns within the jurisdiction at a higher price.
There are basically no hidden dangers in sales, but you need to pay attention to the method.
It is a bit troublesome, but not too troublesome.
Aluminum products have become luxury goods due to the competition among nobles and the high cost of refining.
A few sets of aluminum tableware and carvings are enough for a noble to show off for a while.
In fact, the magic conductivity of aluminum is not strong.
But whether it is aluminum or magic tears, as long as they are properly operated, there are huge profits.
Ansitus found it hard to believe that in the corner of the kingdom of Magtan City, there would be a mysterious alchemist carrying a large number of magic tears.
And he just happened to find his daughter!
However, he decided to give Ophelia a chance.
Compared with being obsessed with taming monsters and monsters all day long, and hanging out with those low-level adventurers, Ansitus was still very happy that she was interested in business.
Even if this time it might just be a scam.
So after a brief consideration, he nodded.
Ansetus opened the desk drawer and found a pale silver daffodil emblem.
"With the autumn daffodil emblem, the West District Caravan will obey your orders."
"Profits are taken care of by yourself. I hope you can lead the West District Caravan to surpass the South District Caravan led by your brother."
"Dear..., father will always be your support."
Ophelia bowed slightly.
She took the emblem representing the power of the caravan with both hands and left the study.
Ansetus did not ask further questions or emphasize anything. As long as the West District Caravan saw the goods, the professionals responsible for alchemical products would naturally report the results to him.
Whether it was a joke or an opportunity, he was willing to give his daughter a chance.
...
Ophelia hurried back to her courtyard.
There were many black iron cages with strong runes in the courtyard.
There were many black iron-level monsters raised in them.
In addition, she built an underground secret room under her living room, which was specially used to raise monsters.
In fact, Ophelia's real fighting power was not based on her superb archery skills.
Although the arrows blessed with magic elements were amazingly powerful,
the large number of monsters and monsters she had tamed in the past two years were even more powerful.
It was no exaggeration to say that if she took them all out, it would be no problem to defeat a team of black iron-level mercenaries.
But before she entered the courtyard, she saw an uninvited guest at the door.
"Dear sister..."
The other party had the same beautiful chestnut hair, handsome and young, and wore a fine brocade robe.
Not only was there a mithril ornament on it, but there were also faint dark gold lines.
He folded his hands, leaned casually against the painted wooden door, and took the initiative to say hello.
Ophelia did not hide the disgust in her eyes.
This man was her half-brother, Howard Axel!
He had coveted her more than once.
If she hadn't been living with monsters and beasts for many years, she would have been able to let the dog bite people in a minute, and I'm afraid she would have fallen into Howard's evil plan long ago.
"Ah, sister, please don't stare at me like that, otherwise your brother won't be able to sleep."
He met Ophelia's stern eyes and said in an extremely frivolous tone.
"Get out of here."
"Or I'll let the bear goblin fuck your ass hard!"
Because she often deals with adventurers, Ophelia can speak rudely without any hindrance.
"Oh oh oh..."
"Dear sister, it's rare to see you go to see your father early in the morning."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you have money to continue playing with your 'pets'?"
"You can come to your brother, after all, I control the South District Caravan."
"As long as you are willing to communicate well with your brother..."
While speaking, Howard straightened his lower body and made an obscene gesture.
Facing his teasing, Ophelia waved the Narcissus emblem in her hand.
"Damn Howard, you will cry soon."
"I will prove who is the most outstanding new generation of the Axo family."
"Also, if you don't restrain your filthiness, I promise to break your legs..."
Ophelia said in a grim tone.
In terms of actual combat ability, she can press Howard to the ground and rub him.
If Howard is a complete dandy, then Ophelia is a half-elf lady with a carefree temperament.
"Humph, you also got the emblem."
"Father is always partial..."
"Just wait and see, my dear sister!"
He gritted his teeth and said, turning his head and leaving Ophelia's yard.
The servants and gardeners nearby did not dare to speak.
Looking at Howard's back as he left, her eyes became much deeper.
The contract is not only a shackle, but also an opportunity.
She has seen the mysterious power and origin of Chen Xuan, and maybe he can really lead her to a subversive career!
Not long after, Ophelia called the housekeeper who served her.
"Wait for your instructions, Miss."
"Send the things I prepared on the moonlit night."
"Also, let the carport prepare the car immediately, I'm going to the West District now..."
